ByteDance Waver 1.0
ByteDance Waver 1.0 is a powerful image-to-video generation model that transforms static images into dynamic, cinematic videos. Simply provide an image and describe the motion you want — the model brings your visual to life with smooth, high-quality animation.
Why It Stands Out
- Image-driven generation: Start from any image and animate it into a coherent video while preserving the original style and composition.
- Prompt-guided motion: Describe camera movements, actions, and atmospheric effects to control how your image comes to life.
- Prompt Enhancer: Built-in AI-powered prompt optimization helps craft better descriptions for improved results.
- High-quality output: Produces smooth, cinematic videos with natural motion and visual fidelity.
- Reproducibility: Use the seed parameter to recreate exact results or explore variations.

Pro Tips for Best Quality
- Use high-resolution, detailed source images for optimal results.
- Be specific in your prompt — describe camera movement (pan, zoom, tracking), subject actions, and environmental effects.
- Include atmospheric details like lighting changes, particle effects, or weather conditions.
- For sci-fi or fantasy scenes, describe volumetric effects like clouds, smoke, or energy.
- Fix the seed when iterating to compare different prompt variations.
Notes
